Donegal chosen for launch of Referendum Commission’s campaign

The Chair of the Referendum Commission will address students at Letterkenny Institute of Technology on Tuesday, April 9th at 12 30 pm.

The Chair of the Commission, Judge Tara Burns, will attend the launch for the register-to-vote campaign.

The launch marks the start of the Commission’s information campaign encouraging people to ensure they are on the electoral register.

A referendum on the regulation of divorce will take place on May 24th, the same day as the local government and European Parliament elections.

Those not registered to vote have until May 7th to get on the electoral register in time.

County Donegal had one of the lowest voter turnouts in the last referendum, and the Chair will talk about the importance of voting and will answer students’ questions.
